My, it's me.

By Susan Bennett McFarlane

Some people can share a wealth of wisdom in just a few simple words that stay with you, enriching your life for years to come. Amanda Reeder Mattis, or "My" as her granddaughter called her, was just such a person. It would be easy to mistake her constant joy as a sign her life had been easy, while, in fact, she had learned the value of embracing and appreciating life through hardship. The mother of seven children, she supported her family during the Great Depression-then had the burden of sending her three sons to serve in World War II. She survived her husband by many years and buried three of her children and one of her grandchildren before she, too, passed away. My, It's Me recounts ten years of visits between Susan Bennett McFarlane and her beloved grandmother, from when the author was fifteen to twenty-five years old. As My shared her own life experiences-from the silly to the serious-she also somehow spoke directly to whatever Susan was going through at the time. Discover, with Susan, how choosing to value the people and world around you sets you firmly on the path to joy.
